What does it mean, removed from the chart?

It remained on top of both download and single chart for several weeks, until the single was pulled from UK stores by the band and their record label on 29 May 2006, after nine consecutive weeks at number one, so people will "remember the song fondly and not get sick of it.

If physical copies had remained being shipped to stores, it would still be at #1.

I thought it was a new stupid chart rule but I guess I was wrong. The UK music charts were revamped last year to include downloads, which got most of the UK's music chart lovers' panties in a twist.
